Subject: [PATCH net] ipv6: sr: remove duplicate routing header type check

From: David Lebrun <dlebrun@...gle.com>

As seg6_validate_srh() already checks that the Routing Header type is
correct, it is not necessary to do it again in get_srh().

Fixes: 5829d70b ("ipv6: sr: fix get_srh() to comply with IPv6 standard "RFC 8200")
